Friday Faves!

Happy Friday!!!  We’re one Friday closer to school starting and let me tell you, I am not ready!  I have enjoyed being with Harrison all summer long, and I know starting back to school will be harder on me than it will be on him haha!

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens today to cardholders, so I’ll be shopping once it opens!  I always overbuy because of Nordstrom’s free shipping and free returns.  And I always know that I’m not keeping everything I order haha!

I hope to get a post together today of what I buy and then I’ll do another post once everything comes in so I can talk about what actually worked vs what didn’t.

Alright, enough of that!  Now onto my FAVORITES!

I forgot to cancel my Nordstrom Trunk Club subscription, so when my new stylist (remember my last one was TERRIBLE) sent me an email with the clothes she had picked and seeing that they actually looked good, I went ahead and clicked for her to send the trunk to me.  The only problem?  I like a lot of it and it’s the same time as the big sale.  Ugh.

I want to show you what my favorites are and I’ll decide what to keep once I see what I get during the sale.
 Navy jumpsuit–I LOVE it!


 Black dress–I also really love this and most people didn’t like it on IG!


 Stripped jumpsuit–Again, love it!


Harrison is literally the happiest baby in the world and he is always my FAVORITE!!!


And for my FAVORITE blogger/influencer of the week:
Krista from Covering the Bases!  
I love how relatable she is and how down to earth she is–plus, she’s planning a wedding and lives in NYC which I find so interesting.  I also really love how classic her style is!
Do y’all have a favorite blogger/influencer that I should check out?!

Have a great weekend!  (And I hope to see you back here tomorrow!)

Prepping for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

It’s almost sale time!!!

I know every blogger out there will be (and has already been) covering the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year, but sometimes I think it’s fun to read sale posts from bloggers who won’t be spending thousands of dollars on things during the sale.  I’ll only be looking at necessities because I still have a few months until my paycheck goes back to normal #maternityleave

Just in case you may not be as familiar with the anniversary sale, cardmembers are able to start shopping July 12 and then everyone else can start shopping July 19.  Here’s the thing….the first year I decided to shop it, I didn’t have a card and didn’t realize it would be such a big deal.  So on the first day open to the public, I went on the website to buy the Barefoot Dreams cardigan I had been wanting because it was discounted almost $40…..and they were already sold out!  I couldn’t believe it!!  Luckily, a friend in Texas had bought two and mailed me her extra.  I applied for the credit card after that ha!

Here are a few things I’m going to be looking for during the sale:

If you are in need of a new pair of jeans, the sale is the best time to buy them because they will be heavily discounted.  Two years ago I paid $99 for a pair of jeans that were normally priced $199!

The Zella leggings Nordstrom sells are great and they are normally discounted to around $35 during the sale.

3. Coats
I really need a good winter dress coat.  I tried finding one last year and didn’t like any of them, so hopefully this year will be different.

This isn’t a need, but I would like a new purse if I can find one at a price I’m willing to pay at this point.

Dustin is obsessed with Travis Matthews shirts and they are about $35-40ish dollars cheaper during the sale.  He wears them all the time so we’ll get him a few.

6. Baby boy things
I haven’t looked at the baby things yet, so it’ll be fun to see if I can find anything that I just have to have for Harrison!


If you’re planning on shopping the sale, what are some items you are looking for?!

Coffee Talk!

Hi friends!  It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done a coffee talk with y’all!  Now that I’m a mom to a 4 month old, I’d love to have an hour to spend with friends chatting over a cup of warm coffee (I’ll drink hot coffee year-round!), so if we were getting coffee together, here’s what I’d talk to you about!
Picture is old–from last year!

-I love that I can now bluetooth my phone to my car so I’ve been listening to all the podcasts while driving!!  (My last car wasn’t super old but behind the times, obv)  Yesterday while driving home from Auburn, I listened to the latest episode from Mallory Ervin with her husband, and I have to say….I think it’s my favorite episode yet!  If you haven’t listened to her podcast, Living Fully, yet, go listen to episode 4.

-It is SO HOT outside and on days that Dustin is working, I can’t do any exercise outside because it’s too hot for Harrison.  And I hate working out inside the house lol  Anyone have a short, but fun workout I could do inside on the days Dustin is working.

-Dustin and I are taking Harrison to the beach next summer and wanted to do Rosemary Beach again but stay at The Pearl.  Well, I just found out their pool is adults only…boo.  Any other recommendations?  We’ll have to save The Pearl for when Dustin and I go alone…many years from now haha!

-I started watching Parks and Rec because the episodes are so short (21-23 minutes long). The first few episodes weren’t that funny, but the hunting episode hooked me–it was hilarious!  I’m now on season 3 and still enjoying it-just not as much as I enjoyed The Office!

-Harrison and I took our first solo trip to Auburn to visit my bff on a weekend that Dustin worked.  Traveling alone with a 4 month old was tougher than I thought it would be haha!
